Islamabad, Sep 6
Pakistan's National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) on Saturday stated that as many as 907 people have died and 1,044 injured so far due to the ongoing rains and flooding across the country.
The PDMA stated that the ongoing flood in Punjab has affected over 4.2 million people and inundated more than 4100 villages along the Ravi, Sutlej, and Chenab rivers.
Meanwhile, quoting a statement from Sindh Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon, the Express Tribune highlighted that at least 121,769 people have been shifted from vulnerable riverine areas in the province as rising water flows at major barrages prompted ongoing evacuation and relief efforts.
Pakistan is currently battling one of the worst flooding in decades which has claimed hundreds of lives and triggered urban inundation.
